2.Effect of music treatment on memory decrease of patients with schizophrenia caused by clozapine
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2002;8(11):684-686
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of music treatment on memory decrease causing by clozapine of patients with schizophrenia. MethodsThe 70 patients with schizophrenia aged 18 to 30, who were in hospital for the first time and had graduated from middle school were divided into the experimental group who received music treatment and the control group with 35 cases each at random,when they reached the clinical cure standard after only taking clozapine. The two groups were given the same test before and after the experiment.ResultsThe memory measurement of the two groups had no difference before the experiment(P>0.05). The patients in the experimental group greatly increased their memory after the treatment (P<0.01), but these was no significent difference in the control group (P>0.05).Conclusions Music treatment can help to improve the memory of the patients received clozapinetreatment.

BACKGROUND:In literatures, the recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) loaded microcapsules can be fabricated by double emulsion solvent evaporation method with different organic solvents, such as methylene chloride, ethyl acetate or their mixture. But so far it is not determined yet which one is better. OBJECTIVE: To optimize the preparation method of microcapsules encapsulating rhBMP-2 and to compare the effects of different organic solvents on the microcapsules. METHODS:Polylactic acid-polyethylene glycol-polylactic acid copolymer as microcapsules was used to prepare rhBMP-2 loaded microcapsules with double emulsion solvent evaporation method. Four kinds of organic solvents, methylene chloride (group A), mixture of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate (group B), ethyl acetate (group C) and acetyl acetone (group D) were chosen as oil phases to compare their effects on microcapsule's morphology, diameter, and encapsulation efficiency. Passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels from rats were co-cultured with prepared microcapsules for 14 days, and then alkaline phosphatase activity was detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the other organic solvents, dichloromethane could cause microcapsules with the smaler and more uniform shape (4-10 microns) and the highest encapsulation efficiency; the microcapsules prepared by mixture of methylene chloride and ethyl acetate had relatively wide size distribution and moderate encapsulation efficiency; the microcapsules prepared by acetylacetone were difficult to form and keep the bioactivity of rhBMP-2. After cultured with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels for 14 days, the alkaline phosphatase activity in groups A, B and C was significantly higher than that in group D and there was no significant difference between group A and group B; the alkaline phosphatase activity in groups A and B was significantly higher than that in group C (P< 0.05). The results show the rhBMP-2-loaded microcapsules prepared by methylene chloride as organic solvent have good shape, high encapsulation efficiency, and good biological activity.

Objective Traditional nasolacrimal duct stenting possesses some shortcoming including difficulty of pulling ball head guide wire from the nasal cavity with turbinate hypertrophy and nasal septal deviation. The new method of nose-oral tube track establishment can overcome the forementioned and increase the successful rate. Methods 5 F catheter and arterial sheath were modified to be nasolacrimal duct stent delivery device respectively. Antegrade dacryocystography was taken firstly to display the obstructed site and followed by the modified protocol of inserting the guide wire through nasolacrimal duct and nasal cavity, and establishing the stent delivery track for retrograde stent placement. Results 5 epiphora patients with failure implantation by traditional method were all succeeded through the modified stenting(100%). During 6-mouth follow-up, no serious complications and reocclusion occurred. Conclusion The establishment of eye-nose-mouth-nose of external nasal guide wire track can improve the successful rate of nasolacrimal duct stenting.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the degree of expression of E-cadherin and presence of high risk prognostic factors (lymph node metastasis or parametrium involvement), clinical stages and pathologic types in invasive cervical cancer. METHODS: An immunohistochemical technique has been applied to formalin-fixed, paraffin- embedded samples from 20 radical hysterectomy without risk factors and 16 radical hysterectomy with risk factors. The degree of expressions of E-cadherin immunostaining was compared with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, presence of high risk prognostic factors, and pathologic types. RESULTS: The difference of the degree of expression of E-cadherin was not statistically significant between high-risk group (lymph node metastasis or parametrium invasion) and non-risk group. The difference of the degree of expression of E-cadherin was not statistically significant according to clinical stages and variable pathologic types either. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the degree of the expression of E-cadherin has no relationship with known high risk prognostic factors, clinical stages and pathologic types in invasive cervical cancer.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal and prosthodontic complications of multiple freestanding implants in the posterior jaws for up to 1 year of function. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Eight patients received 20 implants posterior to canines. Two or more implants were consecutively inserted to each patient. Single crowns were delivered onto the implants. Marginal bone loss, implant mobility, probing depth, and screw loosening were examined to evaluate the clinical success of such restorations for maximum 1 year of functional loading. RESULTS: All the implants performed well during the observation period. Neither periodontal nor prosthodontic complications were found except a slight porcelain chipping. While the marginal bone level was on average 0.09 mm lower around the implant after 6 months of loading, it was 0.15 mm higher after 1 year. CONCLUSION: Within the limits of this investigation, separate single-tooth implant restorations to replace consecutive missing teeth may clinically function well in the posterior jaw.
